Always been fascinated by the weather and thunderstoms, we had one when i was a small boy where the lightning hit the flagpole of the nearby church and left it swaying from side to side ever since that day Ive had thisthing for anything weather, I used stay up for the shipping forecast had the maps sent to me by the Met Office. Biggest thing in the world today is Global Warming, no doubt, I said to my wife a long time ago that we'll have 70 degrees f on Christmas Day in my life time, I think this will still come to pass.
